Kena (Eucalyptus) honey

Description

Keena Honey (also known as Eucalyptus Honey) is one of the most important types of honey produced in Jordan. The Eucalyptus tree receives significant attention from the Ministry of Agriculture, which seeks to increase its numbers in various regions due to its benefits and adaptability to the Jordanian environment. Eucalyptus honey is a highly desired honey for those who have tasted its distinctive flavor, and it may always be your first choice.

Eucalyptus honey is produced twice a year, early in the summer and later in the season, depending on the variety of the Eucalyptus tree, some of which bloom twice a year. The honey has a light to medium amber color with a thick consistency and a strong, pleasant aroma. Eucalyptus trees are found in various areas, particularly concentrated in the Jordan Valley and southern Amman.

Due to its high pollen content, Eucalyptus honey is known to help treat many respiratory issues such as cough, sore throat, bronchial problems, and respiratory tract infections. It also aids in memory enhancement and relieves stomach cramps, in addition to being a general body stimulant. According to a Jordanian study, this honey contains MGO (Methylglyoxal), a natural antibiotic that has been extensively researched in New Zealand and Australia. In 2004, it was approved for some medical uses in the UK.

Eucalyptus honey can be enjoyed by all family members, including children, as its taste is suitable for everyone, though it may be preferred by adults. It’s an excellent choice for those looking for honey with a unique flavor and rich benefits.
